Comedian Trevor Noah, the host of Comedy Central\u2019s \u201cThe Daily Show,\u201d will headline the Wheeler Opera House\u2019s Aspen Laugh Festival<\/a> with two shows on Saturday, Feb. 22.<\/p>\n

Additional performers include \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d vet and stand-up legend Norm Macdonald, the improv troupe The Second City and recent breakout comic Taylor Tomlinson, featured in the Netflix special \u201cThe Comedy Lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cComedy has a long history in Aspen, starting 25 years ago with HBO Comedy Arts. 2020 celebrates 10 years of the Wheeler-produced Aspen Laugh Festival, and we wanted to make it an incredible festival,\u201d Wheeler director and Laugh Fest producer Gena Buhler said in the announcement. \u201cI\u2019ve had the chance to see Trevor Noah in very large halls across North America, and to bring him and his stand-up to our historic and intimate venue is an opportunity that should not be missed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wheeler announced the full line-up to its members on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot to be overshadowed by Trevor is a fantastic line-up of incredibly talented and hilarious comics,\u201d Buhler said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a fantastic week of comedy in Aspen, and I hope everyone will join us with venues across Aspen, including our own Wheeler Opera House.\u201d<\/p>\n

Festival passes go on sale Friday, Nov. 1 at the Wheeler box Office (970.920.5770 and aspenshowtix.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Single tickets will go on sale Jan. 3.<\/p>\n

A Limelight Lounge Pass is $50 and includes admission to both Limelight Lounge shows (choose one performance for each).
